Logically the Virtual Machine would be in VM READ. But in the VM/XA branch of VM -on which z/VM is based- any VM READ of a disconnected user without secondary user gets translated in a CP READ. I find this a bug, VM/SP and VM/HPO did it right. Without setting a secondary user on it, one cannot even use CP SEND to respond to the VM READ, because it is no longer there. Even CP SEND CP xxx BEGIN can't help: the VM READ will be reposted, but it gets again translated into a CP READ. Then, why not using SET SECUSER followed by SEND BEGIN? There are cases where one doesn't want a secondary user: namely for servers intercepting messages (WAKEUP, PROP, PIPE *STARMSG, ...)
